HIGHLIGHTS | Leicester City vs Arsenal (0-2) | Carabao Cup

We maintained our 100 per cent start to the season with a Carabao Cup third-round victory against Leicester on Wednesday night, courtesy of a second-half own goal and Eddie Nketiah’s late strike.

The game got off to a frantic start as Kelechi Iheanacho blasted a shot wide in the opening 60 seconds, before Reiss Nelson sent an effort arrowing towards the top corner – only for Danny Ward to produce a fingertip save to divert it over.

Moments later Marc Albrighton played a fine ball in behind our backline for Kelechi to run on to, but Bernd Leno was quickly off his line to block the striker’s first-time effort.

If it felt like there was barely time to take breath in those early stages, but soon we began to assert control and dominance on the game, pinning the hosts back as we prodded and probed.

The lively Bukayo Saka sent a fine ball right across the face of goal and then, not long afterwards, went down under a tackle by Daniel Amartey in the area but the referee waved play on.

Nelson had a golden chance just after the half-hour mark when a corner skidded at his feet, but he could only prod his shot wide while, at the other end, James Maddison sent a curling effort on to the inside of the post and back into Leno’s hands.

The second half got off to a quieter start than the first, but 10 minutes in we took the lead as Nicolas Pepe’s shot deflected off the post and into the legs of Christian Fuchs and in.

We continued to press and came close to doubling our lead when Nketiah lobbed Ward, only to see Wes Morgan race back and head off the line.

Leicester pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages, and nearly had one but Ayoze Perez headed wide from close range, before Nketiah made sure of our place in the fourth round in injury time after poking in from close range.

damn bellerin move so smooth man for the assist

[UKDarkPredator]

Bellerin and Tierney now with the tucked in shirts!

[brendanroe]

Fantastic run by Bellerin for the Nketiah goal

[elliotdalessandro]

Anyone see nkietiah get mad when the ball went in for the og lol

[alwayshardbeinganarsenalfan]

I feel like Nelson deserves some more playing time. He was really good today. Hopefully we don’t sell or loan him but if he doesn’t get enough minutes then he’ll need to be loaned.

[benwilkinson]

Pepe had 3 people on him he would of struggled getting it to nketiah. He made the right decision shooting. He tried to pass it after the first save and got thr rebound from a block for a easy goal. It was good play not bad.

[kirthansakhamuri]

Eddie shouldn’t be disappointed after we got the goal

[dude]

the leicester gk had a bruh moment during that second goal

[Hatemoth]

I’m not sure how I feel about nketiahs reaction to the first goal... yeah he’s disappointed not to score but the team still went a goal up so should be celebrating.

[denboy]

I tell you what I dont like about Eddie is how he didn't celebrate the own goal instead complained to Pepe about the pass. He did the same to Nelson when he missed a shot too. Get that out of your game. Its a team game. Winning the game comes 1st and your personal accolades comes 2nd

[nobitanobi]

Hector "High Pants" Bellerin really is something else man.

[debuniinnocent]

The Tierney effect, Bellerin is now tucking in 😂

[adriantterry]

Surely Bellerin can't be sold when he was absolute class like that 🔥🔥

[yeezel]

So nobody is gonna Appreciate how good Mohamed Elneny was today?!

[scottlad]

Nketiah demanding the ball even when we score, he’s going straight to the top

[roman_aaa]

somehow i dont really like nketiah in the way he react the first goal, and how he celebrate alone without mentioning bellerin's brilliant move in the next goal. yes he still young, but that kind of attitude wont make his teammate happy

[hanzodragneel]

It's bad to see nketiah didn't turn around to appreciate bellerin's pass

[zaem]

nketiah didn't turn around to appreciate bellerin's pass...different from Auba

[danielnjoroge]

Nketiah should grow up. He is behaving like a spoilt child.

[jharjono]

NKETIAH screaming at Nelson then Pépé for not passing 😂😂😂😂😂

Him getting mad at Nelson is hilarious, like he’s gonna pass when he’s in that position 😭
